Black Rainbow Project

I'm posting this purely because I think the branding and manifesto are pretty strong and it's gotta be one of the best new brand names I've heard this year:
Black Rainbow Project is the result of a lifetime behind handlebars, 13 years in front of a sewing machine, and months of intensive research. A one man operation, my goal is to make the highest quality, longest lasting, and best performing bags for cyclists with absolutely no compromise. Every single product is designed and hand built by me, one at a time, in the east end of London.

HA...somebody actually went to the trouble of finding and posting a picture of another rainbow that's also black, and a completely different typeface which looks a bit similar. Damn...and i thought i was the first person in the world to colour a rainbow in black! hehe...good work 'anonymous'.

If you think you can make bags of this size with the same amount of work, the same features and of the same quality, using the same materials and hardwear for less, and still stay in business 'anonymous'...maybe you should set up a bag company?

well Cordura, 1000 denier $3 per metre, waterproof of course, plus a liner, edging tape 350d rolls and the hardware, about another $10, thats 50mm tri slides, buckles, 25 and 50mm polyproplene diver webbing, with the big zippers and velcro. Hmmm 2.5 hours per bag plus 45 minute fabric assembly on top, about 5 completed on a 7.35hour shift with 30min lunch and 2x 10 min break, 4 days per week plus 1 day to sort the stuff and despatch, weekends free, yes, I think 320 is a bit of an ask...hahaha.
